INJECTION EXPERIMENTS ON ROCKS UNDER TRIAXIAL CONDITION WITH ACOUSTIC EMISSION MONITORING
(2016-12)
This work presents the results of a series of triaxial- injection experiments carried out on two basalt cores from the Newberry geothermal field well GEO-N2 and a Mississippi lime stone. A combination of triaxial and ...
Quantification of recovery factors in downspaced shale wells
(2016-12-16)
Well spacing optimization in horizontal multi-fractured wells is the center of field development. Unconventional reservoirs due to the low matrix permeability cannot produce without the help of hydraulic fracturing. Unlike ...
Acoustic Velocity Study in Tight Anhydritic Dolomite of the Late Permian Khuff Formation
(2016-12-16)
Carbonate reservoirs are usually associated with diagenesis processes which result in complex mineralogy and pore structure. As a result, rock physics models that predict the petrophsyical properties using seismic based ...
DENSITY CHANGES AND COMPOSITIONAL PATH DURING CO2 INJECTION
(2016-12-16)
CO2 EOR has been used for a couple of decades as it improves oil recovery. With more than 50% of original oil in place (OOIP) remaining inside reservoir after primary and secondary stage, more and more companies start to ...
A LOW-FREQUENCY ASYMPTOTIC FORMULATION TO ESTIMATE HYDRAULIC FRACTURE PROPERTIES FROM PRESSURE DATA
(2016-12-16)
The key drivers of success in unconventional oil and gas recovery, specifically in shale plays, is the rapid growth in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal well technology. With these completion methods, wells contact ...
PERFORMANCE PREDICTION FOR DEEPWATER GULF OF MEXICO USING DATA MINING
(2016-08-05)
The estimation of recovery factor is important in every stage of hydrocarbon development, and multiple traditional techniques are available for engineering application for particular fields. However, the estimated recovery ...
Seismic signature of sedimentary rocks with CO₂ flooding
(2012)
Surface seismic offers a promising technique to monitor CO₂ flood fronts during enhanced oil recovery process. Changes in seismic signature have been observed with CO₂ flooding but quantification of the seismic signature ...
Non-Destructive Index Testing For Relative Assessment Of Rock Strength
(2016)
Index tests for the determination of rock properties have been employed since the early 90s, based on methods developed since the 1900s in the metallurgical industry. Examples include the Brinell hardness test, Rockwell ...
Numerical simulation of transient cuttings transport with foam in horizontal wells
(2013)
The use of foam for underbalanced drilling applications is increasing significantly. This is because foam exhibits properties, which are desirable when drilling depleted and low-pressure wells. However, a good knowledge ...
Importance of Capillary Heterogeneity in Developing a Representative Reservoir Model for Shales with Complex Fractures
(2016-12-16)
Our advancement in hydraulic fracturing has enabled us to produce shale formations economically. The formation stimulation is successful when the effective transport properties of the formation is improved significantly, ...
